Opportunities for Current Students with SLIS Admission
Posted May 7, 2018
Please take a look at the opportunities below:
- Information Sessions (Boston campus only): We welcome you to volunteer for our information sessions in Boston. Current students and alumni attend breakout sessions to answer questions and describe their experiences at SLIS. These events are primarily held on weeknights from 6 to 7:30pm. We do have two Saturday events a year. You can volunteer for one session, or many.
- Email with prospectives: We often receive requests from prospective students who would like to speak with a current student, or recent graduate. This is a common request from people who cannot come to Boston, South Hadley, or Amherst to check out the campuses in person, but still want a sense of our community. Typically, we would ask you to respond to their questions over email, unless you prefer to set up a phone conversation.
- Blogging: SLIS Admission is always looking for bloggers to contribute to our current Student Snippets: The SLIS Experience blog. Bloggers are asked to write and submit one blog per week (every couple of weeks in the summer).
If you are interested in volunteering for one or more of these opportunities, please respond to [email protected] with the following information, and we will be in touch as the need arises. Please note you may want to include your Simmons email as well as a Non-Simmons email so we can contact you after you graduate.
